Orangery that is now a cafe. Previously part of Markeaton Hall (now demolished). The orangery and other outbuildings survive and there is a series of small craft businesses in the outbuildings. The cafe is okay (no better) and there are 2 other cafes very close by (to the west on Markeaton Lane). The one at the Markeaton Garden Centre (The Potting Shed) is recommended over the others.

Visited again (not sure why!). Still not a very good cafe but it is in a nice building. Will be using the close by and better cafes in the future.
Prices seem expensive and quality is only average. For example, £2.70 for a smallish cappuccino dispensed from a machine (server presses one button!).
